Soon they were signed to Britain's Pye Records, and even enjoyed a small hit with their cover of the Contours' "Do You Love Me." But their next single, the original "Glad All Over," hit big, knocking the Beatles' "I Want To Hold Your Hand" out of the top spot in their native country. Clark's primitive, self-produced tribal drum sound was a smash. Success Soon, the group was getting airplay in the States, thanks to promoters looking for the logical followup to the Beatles. But the "Tottenham Sound" of the DC5 was harder and more raucous than the "Merseybeat" sound of the Beatles, Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Swinging Blue Jeans, etc. Clark, a natural businessman, managed and produced his own band, and made several smart business decisions which ensured the group would hang on to the money it made. Before the Stones, Kinks, and Who arrived in 1965, the Dave Clark Five were considered the Beatles' chief British Invasion rival, scoring 15 top 20 hits in three years.

Later years Although Clark and company tried to shift with the changing cultural tide in the late Sixties, they met with little success, being forever tagged as a teenyboppers' group. After some success in the nascent "oldies revival" trend, they called it quits in 1970. Original member Denis Payton died in 2006; on October 15th, 2003, Mike Smith was horribly injured while climbing a fence on his property in Spain, falling and leaving himself permanently paralyzed in both legs and one arm. He succumbed to complications from his injuries in 2008.

More from The Dave Clark Five And Beyond (5) Glad All Over by The Dave Clark Five Songfacts Glad All Over by The Dave Clark Five Songfacts Songfacts The engineer Adrian Kerridge developed a thumping drum sound for this track, which became known as the Tottenham sound. Tottenham is an area in North London, where Dave Clark came from. Crystal Palace Football Club have adopted this song as their theme song. When they reached the FA Cup Final in 1990, the Crystal Palace players teamed up with a UK group called the Fab Four to record a cover version of this - it reached #50 in the UK. Lead vocalist Mike Smith came across a song called "Glad All Over" by Carl Perkins and wrote a new song with the same title.

Smith recalled, "We had lost out on 'Do You Love Me' to Brian Poole and so Dave (Clark) thought we should do an original. He asked me to come up with something and I looked through my record collection for a suitable title." Dave Clark said: "I knew that we needed a song with the thumps in. we had been playing dance halls and we were getting a great audience response to the stomping things we were doing." (Above quotes from 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh.) Written by Clark and Mike Smith, this was the first American hit for The Dave Clark Five, and their second chart entry in the UK, where their cover of " Do You Love Me " made #30 a month earlier. The song holds a distinctive honor on the UK chart, as it knocked The Beatles " I Want To Hold Your Hand " out of the top spot. The band was at a crossroads when this song's success cleared their path. "We started from nothing, and then we were very fortunate," Clark told us. "I always said to the boys, 'We'll only go professional if we get two Top 5 records.

If not, we just carry on and play for the fun of it.' Well, fortunately 'Glad All Over' took off, and it was selling like 180,000 a day." (Here's our full Dave Clark interview .) After The Beatles drew record ratings on the Ed Sullivan Show, the host was looking for the next British Invasion stars and found them in The Dave Clark Five. The band appeared on the show March 8, 1964, where they performed this song. This gave the band an audience in America and propelled the song up the charts; it reached its peak position of #6 on April 25. The Dave Clark Five were a favorite of Sullivan, who had them back on the show 11 more times (plus three re-airs and one show that featured film clips of the band). Getting them on the show the first time proved a challenge, however. The show wasn't broadcast in England, so Clark had never heard of it and turned down the offer. When Sullivan's producer called back offering a substantial payment, he convinced his bandmates to make the trip.

Dave Clark recalled to Uncut magazine: "I went to Alexander Palace once, and saw a big band called The Eric Delaney Band. On the front of the stage, he had these timpanis. He came off the drums at the back and played these timpanis, and it was quite amazing. It was showmanship. That's always stuck in my mind. It wasn't very clever l, what he was doing, but it was dynamite, the crowd loved it. That was a big influence." Dave Clark: "'Glad All Over' didn't take long at all to write. Your best songs are the ones you seem to do very quickly. It was a great hook, and a very simple one." Because - YouTube Because Want to watch this again later?

They were the second group of the British Invasion, after The Beatles, to appear on The Ed Sullivan Show. This was shortly after their single "Glad All Over" had knocked "I Want to Hold Your Hand" off the top of the UK singles charts (January 1964). In February 1964 "Glad All Over" entered the US singles charts and eventually peaked at No.6 in the United States in April 1964.

The Dave Clark Five had several more hit songs in the United States during 1964-67, including "Bits and Pieces" (No.4, May 1964), "Can't You See That She's Mine?" (No.4, July 1964), "Because" (No.3, August/September 1964), "Anyway You Want It" (No.14, December 1964), "I Like It Like That" (No.7, July 1965), "Catch Us If You Can" (No.4, October 1965), "Over And Over" (No.1, December 25, 1965), and "You Got What It Takes" (No.7, May 1967).

The Dave Clark Five's UK Top Ten singles (1963-70) were as follows: "Glad All Over" (No.1 for 2 weeks from 14th January 1964); "Bits and Pieces" (No.2, March 1964); "Can't You See That She's Mine?" (No.10, June 1964); "Catch Us If You Can" (No.5, August 1965); "Everybody Knows (We're Through)" (No.2, November 1967); "The Red Balloon" (No.7, October 1968); "Good Old Rock'n'Roll" (No.7, January 1970) and, finally, "Everybody Get Together" (a cover verion of "Get Together", the Chet Powers' song popularised by The Youngbloods in the US), which peaked at No.8 in April 1970.

It can be seen from the chart success stories on the two sides of the Atlantic that DC5 were more popular in the US than their native UK in the period April 1964-January 1966, but had something of a renaissance in the UK in the 1967-70 period after their halcyon days in the US had passed. The group disbanded in late 1970. n 10 March 2008 the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Dave Clark formed the band in 1958, and was the band's drummer, placing his drum kit at the front of the stage, with the guitarists and organ to his rear and sides. He established business deals which allowed him to produce the band's recordings and gave him control of the master recordings. Lead vocals were provided by Mike Smith, who also played the keyboards. The rest of the band were Lenny Davidson on lead guitar, Rick Huxley on bass guitar, and Denny Payton on saxophone, harmonica and guitar. Songwriting credits went to Clark, Clark and Smith, Clark and Davidson, and Clark and Payton.

Originating in North London, the band was promoted as the vanguard of the "Tottenham Sound", a response to the Mersey Beat stable managed by Brian Epstein. From the outset, the band's sound was complemented by the inclusion of a saxophone.[4] They had a series of hits, including "Glad All Over" that in January 1964 knocked the Beatles from the number one position on the UK Singles Chart. Category The Dave Clark Five The Dave Clark Five The Dave Clark Five was one of the top British Invasion bands of the 60's and a lot of the group's success was a result of the efforts of its hard-driving leader, Dave Clark. The group had twenty-two hit records in Britain and twenty-four in America along with six sell out US tours and thirteen appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show. Dave Clark was born in 1942. He was somewhat of a daredevil and worked as a stuntman in over 40 films. When his soccer team, the Tottenham Hotspurs, needed money in 1960, he decided to form a band. He bought a set of drums and learned how to play them.

The band started out life as a backing group for Stan Saxon, a North London singer. The line up then included Chris Wells and Mick Ryan as well as Dave Clark. Chris and Mick left and Dave Clark along with Mike Smith, Dennis Payton, Rick Huxley and Lenny Davidson formed The Dave Clark Five. The group played locally in Tottenham, a suburb just north of London. They signed a recording contract with Ember / Pye in 1962, and became more and more popular in England. Their first release was "Mulberry Bush" (a rock version of the nursery rhyme) which made no impact, but their second, a cover of The Contours' "Do You Love Me" did make the lower reaches of the charts in the autumn of 1963. Both the DC5 and the Tremeloes released "Do You Love Me" at the same time, with The Tremelos version rising higher on the British record charts. This was to make a major impact on the band, as they then decided to record their own material. Here is where the genius that was Dave Clark started to flourish.

Right from the beginning, he held ownership of all the DC5 masters( finished recordings) and continued receiving royalties for years. The Clark / Smith composition "Glad All Over" was released in the late 1963 and by January 1964 was number 1 on the British Pop Charts, replacing the Beatles " I Want To Hold Your Hand" which had been number 1 for six weeks. This song has become one of the most recognizable Beat Era hits and still enjoys a major amount of air play today. Toppling the Beatles brought some major press for the group and they took advantage of this with the release of their next single, "Bits and Pieces" which reached number 2 on the British Charts. The DC5 were distinguished from their British contemporaries by their larger-than-life production, Clark's loud stomping drum sound, and Mike Smith's powerful vocals. Though accused by detractors of lacking finesse and hipness, they had a solid ear for melodies and harmonies, and wrote much of their early material, the best of which has endured quite well, although their albums were fairly weak. The Dave Clark Five took the U.S. by storm, spearheading what was to become known as "The British Invasion".

A record 18 appearances (for a British Beat Group) on the Ed Sullivan Show along with 6 sold out tours and 15 Top 20 hits in three years, established the DC5 as one of the best known British Bands. One of their tours included an amazing 12 sold out shows at Carnegie Hall in 3 days. Six more records from the group were released in 1964 that reached the top fifteen in the U.S., including the top ten songs "Bits and Pieces" (#4), "Can't You See That She's Mine" (#4) and "Because" (#3). Their hot streak continued the following year with "I Like It Like That" (#7), "Catch Us If You Can" (#4) and their sole U.S. #1, "Over and Over", which had been released earlier by Bobby Day as the flip side of his hit, "Rockin' Robin". The Beatles had a hit film with A Hard Day's Night and Dave Clark answered it with Having a Wild Weekend, a 1965 film that was to be the directorial debut of John Boorman (who would later direct a number of major motion pictures including Deliverance and Exorcist II).

1966 saw The DC5 reach the U.S. top 40 with "At The Scene" (#18), "Try Too Hard" (#12) and "Please Tell Me Why" (#28). There were more hits in 1967, including a cover of Marv Johnson's "You Got What It Takes" (#7), which would prove to be their last top ten entry in the U.S. charts and their final top 40 hit, "You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby" (#38). Dave Clark had been a drama student at one time and, while keeping up with the still very popular band, he turned his attention to directing and producing. He made a very successful television production in the UK titled Hold On, It's The Dave Clark Five and bought the rights to the UK television series Ready Steady Go!, a show that featured all of the major recording artists of the day from both sides of the Atlantic. Times were changing in the music business. Psychedelia was the rage in the late 60's, but the Dave Clark Five didn't get on that bandwagon. Their popularity diminished somewhat in the U.S.

Without resorting to using modern studio technology, they still had some top ten songs in the UK including "Everybody Knows", "Red Balloon", and "Everybody Get Together". The early 70's saw them chart with the first Maxi-Single, "Good Old Rock and Roll", but after being relegated to the revival tours, they disbanded. For a while, Dave Clark and Mike Smith teamed up in a new group called Dave Clark And Friends, along with Eric Ford, Alan Parker and Madeline Bell. When the group split, Clark attended drama school. Mike Smith continued in the music business, writing commercial jingles and producing other artists. Lenny Davidson became a guitar teacher in Hertfordshire and ran a business that services church organs. Rick Huxley went to work for the Vox musical instrument company before opening Musical Equipment Ltd in Camberwell, and then turned to electrical wholesaling. Dennis Payton went in to the real estate business and continued to play music part time. Dave Clark still had his flair for business. An album was compiled titled "Thumping Great Hits" and it reached the top of the British charts in 1977, at a time when punk rock was at the height of its popularity.

A video cassette was made from the Ready Steady Go! tapes in 1983 and was on the best sellers chart for six months, peaking at number one. Other videos compiled by Clark did nearly as well. In 1985, Clark's compilation of video tapes from the Ready Steady Go! series drew large amounts of viewers to British television. Dave also wrote a London stage musical titled Time, starring Cliff Richard and later David Cassidy, that was a huge success in 1986. In 1993, Clark re-mastered all the band's original singles and released them on a compact disc called "Glad All Over Again". Mike Smith meanwhile formed a new group called Mike Smith's Rock Engine and continued to tour in both the UK and the US. Tragedy struck Smith on October 15th, 2003, when he suffered an accident at his home in Spain. With his wife in America, Smith locked himself out of his house and decided to climb the security fence. On the way down, his pant leg got caught and he fell head first to the ground, breaking his neck.

Smith became paralysed from the waist down with no movement in his right arm and limited mobility in his left. Steve Van Zandt of the E Street Band and Paul Shaffer of The Late Show with David Letterman, organized a benefit concert in New York on Mike's behalf. On December 17, 2006, saxaphonist Dennis Payton died of cancer at the age of 63. His death came just weeks after it was announced that the Dave Clark Five had been nominated for induction to the 2007 US Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame. In a statement, Dave Clark called Payton "a very dear friend who I've known since we were teenagers". He went on to say "Denis was extremely brave and not afraid of death. He had an amazing philosophy on life and will be greatly missed by me and all who knew him." Clark said his former bandmate had been "thrilled" by the citation.

"He said, 'I know I won't be around, but it was an amazing part of my life that I am very proud of.'" Rock and Roll fans suffered another loss on February 28th, 2008 when Mike Smith died of pneumonia at Stoke Mandeville Hospital outside of London. He was 64. Just two weeks later, On March 10th, The Dave Clark Five was inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame by actor Tom Hanks. In attendance with the three surviving members of the band were the families of Lenny Davidson, Rick Huxley and Denis Payton. Dave Clark opened up his acceptance speech by saying that he felt like he was at the Oscars. Lenny Davidson mentioned that they arrived in New York for the ceremony on March 8th, exactly 44 years after their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. "Glad All Over" was performed by Joan Jett, John Fogerty, John Mellencamp and Billy Joel. Later that month, a 28-track collection, "The Dave Clark Five: The Hits", was released on iTunes.

Bassist Rick Huxley passed away on February 11th, 2013 at the age of 72. Formerly a heavy smoker, he had suffered from emphysema for some time. His wife, Ann, had died in 2012. On April 8th, 2014, the PBS program Great Performances aired a two hour special on The British Invasion called The Dave Clark Five and Beyond - Glad All Over. Footage included The Dave Clark Five's iconic performances on The Ed Sullivan Show along with rare live concert footage and some of the band's appearances on television with American musical icons. The film also featured never-before-seen footage from Clark's personal archives together with performances by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Dusty Springfield, Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, Martha Reeves And The Vandellas, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding and Freddie Mercury of Queen.

Some theater owners wouldn't let them play this at concerts because they were worried that fans would jump up and down in time to the beat and damage the venue. Like the rest of the Dave Clark Five catalog, this song wasn't issued on CD in America until 1993 with the The History Of The Dave Clark Five collection, which was distributed by Hollywood Records, a division of Disney. Clark had held back the rights to the group's catalog, which made their music difficult to find - even for radio stations, many of which didn't play DC5 tracks because they didn't have them. In signing with Hollywood, Clark was hoping to get songs like this one used in Disney movies, but that didn't happen. With the catalog held back for nearly two decades, interest in the group's music waned, and many of their songs - including this one - never had a popular resurgence through use in a movie or commercial. Dave Clark recalled to Uncut: "At a lot of gigs, we used to do some instrumentals because it was a long stint, three and a half hours.

We often started with The Routers' 'Half Time,' and we'd stop, carry on with just the drums going, with everybody in the band stomping - all the audience would start to stamp, and you can imagine what it was like when it got 106,000 people." "The guy on the lights at the Tottenham Royal had no lighting board, but I got him to switch the lights on and off from the mains, in time with the music. It got amazing reactions, and that's how Mike and I got the idea for Bits and Pieces and Glad All Over ." PBS' 'Glad All Over' Celebrates Dave Clark Five PBS' 'Glad All Over' Celebrates Dave Clark Five By LYNN ELBER | April 8, 2014 | 8:03 AM EDT FILE--In this Oct. 19, 1965 file photo, Dave Clark, gives a thumb's up sitting in a Bentley Continental, with the other members of the band "Dave Clark Five Beat Group," Dennis Payton, left, and Mike Smith, at the International Motor Show at Earl's Court, in London.

There was more to the 1960s British invasion than the Beatles, as any fan of "Catch Us If You Can" or "Because" or - get ready to shimmy - "Glad All Over." The hit tunes were among those recorded by the influential U.K. band that gets its due in "The Dave Clark Five and Beyond: Glad All Over," a PBS documentary airing Tuesday, April 8, 2014 (check local listings). (AP Photo, file) LOS ANGELES (AP) — There was more to the 1960s British invasion than the Beatles, as known by any fan of "Catch Us If You Can" or "Because" or — get ready to shimmy — "Glad All Over." The hit tunes were among those recorded by another influential U.K. band that gets its due in "The Dave Clark Five and Beyond: Glad All Over," a PBS documentary airing Tuesday (check local listings). The film includes interviews with Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Steven Van Zandt and other impressive musicians who cite the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band and Clark, its drummer-manager, as influences.

It's such an outpouring of praise that an embarrassed Clark nearly took his producer credit off the project. Friends talked him out of it, just as they had talked him into doing the documentary, he said. The band's admirers "wouldn't say it if they didn't mean it," Clark recalls being reassured. He had no such hesitation in ending the Dave Clark Five's short but stellar run when he called time and his bandmates agreed. He was left with a wealth of memories. "I wouldn't have missed it for the world," said Clark. At 71, he's thoughtful and soft-spoken but still exudes a rocker's raffish air with his dark hair, beard and grandly arched eyebrows. The Beatles beat Clark's band to "The Ed Sullivan Show" by two weeks in 1964, but the DC5 — its shorthand name — racked up 18 appearances with the influential Sullivan, more than any other rock, pop or R&B artist. The group released 15 consecutive top 20 U.S. singles in a two-year period, second only to the Beatles. Fame came swiftly to the DC5.

In March 1964, before appearing on Sullivan's show, "we were really unknown," Clark said. Within eight weeks, including a break to fulfill an agreed-upon English tour, they were selling out American stadiums. Although they and the Beatles were cast as England's Tottenham-versus-Liverpool civic rivals, it was just a media myth, Clark said: "Paul McCartney talks about it in the documentary. There was no rivalry. We were mates." They were also different bands with their own character. While the Beatles consisted of three guitarists and a drummer, the Dave Clark Five included a saxophone and keyboard and had a more driving sound — this in contrast to the group's clean-cut look created by wardrobes that included natty jackets and white turtlenecks. Clark, in fact, was dismayed when Sullivan told his huge audience during one show that the DC5 band members were the kind of young men that "every American mother" would love to have in her home. "I thought, 'Well, that's blown our rock 'n' rock career straight away. But it didn't," Clark said of the band that included Lenny Davidson, Mike Smith, Rick Huxley and Denis Payton.

(Only Clark and Davidson survive.) What ended the DC5's reign in 1970 was the realization that, after playing concerts in every U.S. state and a number of countries, the experience of moving endlessly from hotel rooms to stadiums had become "routine," Clark said. Being onstage, however, never did. "That was the ultimate high, playing live. You feel like the Pied Piper, or a conductor, knowing how to take an audience up or bring them down," he said. "You were champion of the world for that one or two hours of the day." The band went out on a high note, with top 10 U.K. releases, and there were remarkable experiences to come for Clark. Among other ventures, he founded a media company and co-created a hit stage musical, "Time," that included a holographic performance by Laurence Olivier recorded at the end of his career. "One of the biggest inspirations of my life," Clark said of the famed British actor. "You'd think that somebody that big wouldn't want to work with a rock and roller from Tottenham. We had a great, great rapport." ___ Copyright 1998-2017 CNSNews.com.
